The Chicago Headline Club’s Peter Lisagor Awards are back and we are honored to have won alongside our friends at WTTW News for “Best Social or Short-Form Video” for the second year in a row.

Selected by an independent chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, this win was one of eight for WTTW.

The recognized project, the “WTTW News Explains” series is an ongoing series of 26 animated explainer videos exploring various Chicago-focused topics such as: “Why are there so many units of local government in Illinois?”, “How did the city of Chicago get its shape?”, “Why can’t you buy a car on Sundays here?” and even “What happens after you flush?"

Check out the whole series and WTTW News reporting on each topic here.

Congrats to all the 47th Annual Peter Lisagor Award recipients and cheers to The Chicago Headline Club for another fantastic year of celebrating exemplary journalism. We hope to see you at the next!
